Trump is above the law, and that fact means that our democracy has fallen. Not an exaggeration, when one person is no longer subject to the legal system, then none of us are, from Luigi to you. Trump was set to go to jail for life, but the American voters said they didn't care about the coup attempt, they wanted to be entertained.
We really do live in a banana republic, it is just that few will admit it to themselves. Wait until he gets his subjects on the Supreme Corrupt Court into the act of destroying our independent media.

"Wait until he gets his subjects on the Supreme Corrupt Court into the act of destroying our independent media"

That's high on the "to do" list for sure.

Trump has said as much when he declared that the press is "the enemy of the people."

Take that as the first clue ~~ along with the fact that he wants to have journalist who spoke out against him arrested and jailed.

On what charges, I don't know. But I'm sure Trump's DOJ will come up with something. Or at least he'll try to drive them into financial ruin defending themselves.

Chances are he'll also try to have the FCC cancel licensing to Democrat leaning cable networks.

I think the plan he's looking for is called State Run media, along the same lines as Russia.

Once Trump is finished destroying the Freedom of the Press, maybe we'll have to rely on something similar to the French Underground during WWII.

Trumpism is a disease from which there is scarce immunity... he's a cancer on the Constitution and the Country.

Can anyone explain why Trumpers believe Trump is above the law?

Just don't call them cultists, that hurts their stupid little feelings.

What should happen to someone who covers up hush money payments that they paid with campaign funds?

He won because he is a convicted felon?

Y'all did a great job of protecting a convicted felon from being held accountable for his crimes.

Nicely done!

You must be very proud.

@#14 ... The tough-on-crime party. Unless of course, the criminals are rich. ...

... or MAGA.

(don't forget Pres-elect Trump's pledge to pardon the J6 criminals.)

"Can anyone explain "

Frankly, there is no constitutional law that bars a felon from holding a federal office. Apparently, the founding fathers decided that that issue is left to be decided by the voters.

As for "the presidency" it's assumed that charges against a sitting president would likely interfere with his #1 job of keeping the country safe by handling the affairs, both domestic and international, that may interfere with the general welfare of the citizens.

It's kind of useless to beat a dead horse. Trump won the election and the citizens have spoken. As a result, they've turned January 20th into a Red Letter Day for America. And there's not much we can do about it except weather out the storm and cross our fingers for a stroke of fate.
